I only have a minute before my battery runs out on my computer but it
was cold again last night. I only have 16 more days before I enter the
valley. My body is worn out and could use a rest. Nothing significant
happened today other than I didn’t even walk 2 mph today because my back
was cramping all day long. It’s always something.

I crossed the Little Sandy River today and this is where Brigham
Young first met Jim Bridger and was advised by Jim not to settle the
Great Salt Lake and that he would give $1000 for the first bushel of
corn that would ever be grown in the valley. Well ol’ Jim never paid up
on his deal.
